Our Top Pick
Taqueria Kermes
A full-service taqueria experience with depth beyond just tacos.
Notable Picks
8.6
A Fresh Pond Road mainstay that feels like a real sit-down taqueria: big menu range, strong taco execution, and a pace that works for both quick dinners and linger-y meals. The move is to treat it as a taco-first house and add one signature side so the table stays focused.
Must-Try Dishes:
Birria tacos with consomé, Tableside guacamole, Churros
What Makes it Special: A full-service taqueria experience with depth beyond just tacos.
8.4
A Mexico City–leaning Ridgewood spot where the best eating is tortilla-driven: thick, crisp corn bases and fillings that stay bold and pork-forward when you order correctly. Keep it tight—start with a standout quesadilla, add one taco plate, and stop before the table turns into a sampler.
Must-Try Dishes:
Puerca quesadilla, Enchiladas verdes, Cecina tacos
What Makes it Special: Mexico City-style quesadillas on housemade corn tortillas.
